[When the portal opened and monsters started pouring in, Lambda...didn't care much at all, really. They weren't affecting her daily life, so what need did she have to get involved? There would be no benefit to doing so, as far as she could tell, so beyond staying armored at all times as a precaution she made no changes to her typical routine and went about her life in the Gardens as she had since her arrival.]

[That had all gone well enough—until today. Today, when she ventures out to gather something to eat, she winds up being accosted by a harpy, and, as tends to happen when belligerent monsters meet with trigger-happy robots, this run in quickly devolves into a fight.]

[And rushed though her construction may have been, Lambda is still a very formidable opponent. After a somewhat one-sided clash, Lambda using those energy blades she summons to keep her opponent at bay, the harpy turns and flees. When that happens, Lambda pauses as though considering, and then—]

...Pursuing target.

[And off she goes, intending to chase that monster down until one or both of them are dead... Unless someone intervenes or otherwise distracts her, that is.]

[ ooc: For a better idea of the way Lambda fights, see here, particularly after about a minute and a half in. I will also be ever-so-slowly tagging back the threads in the fishing log. Thanks for your patience! ]

[She considers.]

Analysis of the situation indicated I should prioritize the preservation of my body until escape is possible.

[So... Aimlessly existing, yeah.]

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

Then I will give you something to do in conjunction with that.

[She gestures to the Tohno Mansion.]

That is my home and I have several weak individuals taking refuge there. Defend it while I proceed on my mission to recover the Healer from the Otherworld through the portal.

[Again, she pauses and she thinks. While the mansion and the lives of the people within it are of no concern to her, the order is a sensible one. She sees no reason to refuse.]

...Understood.

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

Good. The one in charge of the Mansion while I am gone is my servant, Hisui.

Questions?

[One last pause, and then she responds with a slow, single shake of the head.]

None.

[Akiha loves it when there aren't any questions. She actually offers the slightest of a smile - a rarity, for certain.]

I leave tomorrow. Report at dawn, Lambda-11.

[cobbledtogether.livejournal.com]

Understood.

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

[And unless Lambda has anything else, Akiha turns to head back home and let her maid know the mansion will be well-defended.]

[Lambda's not the type to carry on with needless conversation, so when Akiha turns away, so does she. She will return at dawn, as ordered, but for now she intends to carry on with her daily routine.]
